Originally posted by d.bradley I decided to go for the standard split and microprism w/Optibrite coating (no AF marks brackets). I'll report my findings with my takumars when I get everything up and running in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for all the help!
D., sorry for digging up this old thread. But I figufed I'd ask as performing a search with the combo of your id and "optibrite" did not yield a post ... so what are your feelings/findings?
I've read that your use the split prism in various recent posts, but I am curious about your feelings of "OptiBrite". Are you happy and OK with the exposue error and compensation amount you need to apply using it? Also, by about how much do you have to apply compensation, and perhaps more importantly does that stay consistent across different aperture settings for the same lens, or do you have to adjust compensation based on what aperture you are at? (compensating is fine by me as I always do it, but I don't think I'd be happy if I have to change the amount I compensate by if opening or closing the lenses aperture. )
Hoping you see this thread was updated and read this (and offer a reply
). Thanx much,
